Chapter 416 Priceless Treasure

The next day, early in the morning.

The Airbus A380, which had been flying for more than ten hours, landed smoothly at China Overseas Pudong International Airport. Tang Yuan, who had just finished washing, looked at the familiar land outside the window, and a sense of security and solidity suddenly arose spontaneously.

After the plane stopped, Tang Yuan handed the suitcase to Xiong Kai and immediately took everyone off the plane. At the same time, a familiar figure appeared in front of Tang Yuan.

"Director Dong, we meet again."

This person was none other than Dong Wenhui, who had just left Los Angeles some time ago. He was wearing a black business jacket and standing in front of a Hongqi car. Facing Tang Yuan's familiar greetings, he smiled bitterly and shook his head.

"Director Tang, I really don't know what to say."

"If you buy a random stone tablet in Panjiayuan, you can get the Twenty-Four Seals of the Ming Dynasty from it. If you buy a bronze tripod in Los Angeles, you can get the authentic "Tao Te Ching" written by Dao Zu. You are so lucky. Okay!"

Facing Dong Wenhui's emotion, Tang Yuan spread his hands and said with a slightly innocent expression: "Director Dong, at first I just didn't want the national treasure to be lost, so I bought back the bronze tripod. Who knew what happened? There is something inside the bronze cauldron!"

"You were at the scene at that time. If it weren't for Zheng Daoquan's sharp eyesight, we almost threw those water-logged bamboo slips as mud. We thought that finding water-logged bamboo slips from the Spring and Autumn Period would be the biggest harvest, but who knew that those water-logged bamboo slips The bamboo slips are actually authentic works of Taoist ancestors.”

"I've really stacked up the lucky buffs!"

Dong Wenhui looked at Tang Yuan's innocent expression. He really didn't know what to say. If Tang Yuan was an ordinary person, he would recruit Tang Yuan to the National Expo no matter what.

With such luck, this is not a proper innate archaeological holy body!

"Let's go."

"Peng Buchang is here. He is waiting for you in the VIP building."

Dong Wenhui pointed into the distance and said to Tang Yuan.

"Peng Buchang came here in person?"

When Tang Yuan heard this, he suddenly looked a little surprised.

The Peng Buchang Dong Wenhui mentioned should be Peng Gang, the executive deputy director of the Ministry of Culture and Tourism. Tang Yuan had met him some time ago because of the Twenty-Four Seals of the Ming Dynasty. He originally thought that the Ministry of Culture and Tourism could at most send a director. Come over, but I didn’t expect that Peng Gang came over in person.

"In your hands now, you have a bronze tripod from the Spring and Autumn Period, and a Spring and Autumn Bamboo Slip that is highly likely to be the authentic work of Taoist ancestors. The former is a national treasure, and the latter is a cultural treasure. Naturally, the ministry attaches great importance to it."

"I received a call from you yesterday. Peng Buchang and I flew from Yanjing to Zhonghai overnight. Later, Peng Buchang should mainly talk to you about the authentic works of Daozu. Although you discovered the authentic works of Daozu, the ownership of them is You, there is no doubt about this, but the authentic works of Daozu are cultural treasures after all, and their restoration and future placement and storage are both big problems."

As the two of them walked towards the Hongqi car, Dong Wenhui lowered his voice, which was a wake-up call to Tang Yuan, so that Tang Yuan could be mentally prepared in advance.

"Director Dong, thank you."

Tang Yuan nodded slightly and thanked Dong Wenhui. He probably understood the purpose of Peng Gang's visit. It was nothing more than conveying a message. The authentic work of Daozu cannot be lost. If you can keep it well, then you can keep it yourself. But if If you are unable to keep it well, then you should hand it over to the state, and the state will keep it for you.

In this regard, Tang Yuan did not have any resentment, because he knew very well what the authentic "Tao Te Ching" written by Daozu himself meant to this country and nation.

Cultural inheritance!

Spiritual continuity!

This has an immeasurable role in cultivating the national self-confidence and cultural self-confidence of the Chinese people. Its value cannot be measured by money at all, and it is a priceless treasure.

If Tang Yuan is willing to sell the authentic work of Daozu, even if he offers tens of billions, the country will not hesitate at all. Maybe the money will already be transferred to his account as soon as he opens his mouth. "Director Tang, we don't have to be polite."

Facing Tang Yuan's thanks, Dong Wenhui waved his hand and responded with a smile.

"Director Dong, you know that my private museum has not been built yet, so I plan to rent the bronze tripod to your National Museum. I wonder if Director Dong is willing to do this?"

Tang Yuan and Dong Wenhui got into the Hongqi car. On the way to the VIP building, Tang Yuan asked Dong Wenhui.

"Yes, I have!"

"Of course there is!"

When Dong Wenhui heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up: "Dong Tang, if you are willing to rent that bronze tripod to our National Museum, the rent is easily negotiable, and I guarantee you will be satisfied!"

"Director Dong, just pay the rent as you see fit."

"You can give as much or as little as you want. I don't have any objections."

Tang Yuan smiled slightly, his tone seemed a bit casual.

When Dong Wenhui heard Tang Yuan's words, he knew that Tang Yuan was repaying his kindness and took this opportunity to thank him for his help during this period. However, Dong Wenhui would not waste Tang Yuan's precious favor on such a thing. It's a public matter.

The rent is high and he doesn’t pay for it.

The rent is low and the money won't go into his pocket.

Using his favors to do household chores was something he did only when his brain was in trouble.

Thinking of this, Dong Wenhui immediately said with righteousness: "Dr. Tang, since you trust me so much, then I will coordinate this matter and guarantee that I will give you the highest price in the market and you will not suffer any loss!"

"Anything is fine. When Director Dong has news, just come to me with the lease contract. Then we will do the same as last time. After the lease contract is signed, you can directly transport the bronze tripod away."

Tang Yuan saw that Dong Wenhui didn't take the bait, but he didn't force it and responded with a smile.

In just a few kilometers, the Hongqi car quickly arrived in front of the VIP building.

After the Hongqi car stopped, Tang Yuan got out of the car. He looked at Xiong Kai and others who were following him. He waved to Xiong Kai, called him to his side and said: "You take the brothers first. Go through immigration formalities and pick up luggage. I have a leader here who needs to meet, so just ask Yuan Meng to follow me. We will meet in front of the VIP building later."

"Ok."

Xiong Kai nodded, and then immediately followed Tang Yuan's instructions.

Tang Yuan then met Wu Shunqing again, told him about Peng Buchang's visit to the airport, and invited him to meet Peng Buchang with him later.

Wu Shunqing had no objections to this and readily agreed. Since Tang Yuan had the ability to go to Datian to listen, he would be happy to relax and avoid having to communicate with the superior department about the matter.

After properly settling everyone, Tang Yuan took Yuan Meng and Wu Shunqing, followed Dong Wenhui's footsteps, and walked towards the VIP room where Peng Buchang was...
